NEWS: Burma Endures Panty Assault

POLITICS: Burma Endures Panty Assault

The government of Myanmar is full of evil fucks, plain and simple. Because of out of control inflation and a need for more electricity, people began protesting earlier this year. Last month the country's monks joined the protests and began marching. The junta brought in soldiers and crushed the peaceful protests. Thousands of monks were killed and arrested. Internet access was shut down, visas were denied for foreign journalists. For days, soldiers raided homes and monasteries, dragging away dissidents and killing others.

Today, the Burmese people’s normal state of fear and oppression has returned. The streets are quiet and will probably remain so for a long time. Many people around the world were disappointed by the failure of foreign countries to apply pressure on the military regime and they are fighting back. With panties.

Activists in Thailand began a campaign called, “Panties for Peace.” Women are being asked to send their panties to Myanmar embassies around the world because the regimes military leaders believe women’s panties will “sap them of their power.” It’s kind of like kryptonite to Superman, except it’s panties and they are murderous thugs.

I can tell them right now, that it will not. As a matter of fact, it might give them an erection, depending on what is happening at the moment.

This may be the greatest protest in the history of mankind. Too bad it was borne out of frustration.

So, for now, take off your filthy panties and send them to a Myanmar embassy.

Address For Thailand:
Myanmar Embassy
132 Sathorn Nua Road
Bangkok

I'd do it if I had panties. As it is, I have no power over those bastards because I'm not a cross dresser.

If you're feeling especially kinky you may want to lace your panties with anthrax before posting...

If any women have an e-bay account (and if they'll allow it), I'd pay a reasonable price to send the panties + replacement cost.

some of the people I know wouldn't need to do that to spread disease.

This is possibly the coolest protest ever, with the except of the guy standing in front of the tank.

oh and the "Kiss In" hosted by TaTu...but that wasn't really an awesome protest idea...but at least it gave people a reason to snog.

question...do the panties have to have been worn? I mean, if I just sent some brand new drawers to them would that have an effect too? I mean, I could always buy some on ebay of course, but this would forgoe the hassle of bidding on school girls used panties.

Panties destroy the power of military governments? Ah, if only it were that easy...

I'm afraid they MUST be Used Panties to combat patriarchal power. It's a kind-of female domination thing. When a member of the junta encounters female underwear he collapses. Don't ask me why, but these are guys who consult astrologers everyday. [And no one has been able to tell them that, actually, it's not good karma to kill a Buddhist monk.] So force them to face up to a kind of power that they spend their lives avoiding - female sexuality. Throw the panties at them.

I know people were killed, but really Thousands of monks? Where was that reported?

News coverage of Burma disappeared so quickly it seems. And I barely saw anything mentioning the protests on the US media. It makes me sad that I have to really hunt for real news, but if I want to know whether or not Britney Spears in wearing underwear today I can just open any newspaper or flip any channel on TV.

Does this surprise you?

Avoid corporate television news as your primary source of information on events. CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc... (with the except of BBC News (tax-payer funded)) are all slaves to their corporate masters. It's focused on entertaining it's watchers, not informing them (it's more profitable for them to operate this way).

The established print media (i.e. newspapers, newspapers web sites) is a much better source for factual, relevant information.

I used facebook and sent this article to about 200 or so girls. Word.

you know, chevron has some interests down in myanmar. If I were them I would take the country over through the clever use of flags....and bombs... and paramilitary mercenaries. But thats cause I am nuts right,........

well...of course it was hardly covered. I was pissed enough to actually write a letter to my local news station.

Anyway...

Not nessicarily in that order. Mostly arrested, and haven't been heard from since.
I haven't heard anything about them ever since then either! Good thing that I know the important news, like that the new winter fashions are in!

If this protest actually has some positive effect, I will be thrilled beyond the typical bounds of human expression.

Have regimes ever listened to what anyone else said? Military minds require a military response before they start paying attention. I'd rather see our troops getting involved in this, but with the current Iraq shenanigans I doubt anyone can spare the manpower.

If I start dating again, I'll be stealing panties for this.

Only just, though. And, it really depends on the paper you're talking about. A lot of newspapers are essentially tabloid rags, that are just as bad as the TV media.

Yahoo! News gives me the news straight from the wires. Sign up and enable cookies, and you can select the topics and providers and they'll be on top whenever you go there.

That's why I put the qualifier, established in that sentence.

well, Obviously Britney can't donate.

Doh, I was too shocked about the word killed that I didn't even pay attention to the words "and arrested". Still very upsetting of course. Karma is really gonna bite those officials in the ass, and I can't wait to step on the dung beetle they get reincarnated into in the next life.

Just out of curiosity, why give the address to the Embassy in Thailand?? Seems silly to me!

Oh, boy....

Aristophanes wrote this story 2000 years ago with his play, Lysistrata. Liz leads her countrywomen to withold sex until their husbands end the Peloponnesian War. A very funny anti-war play.

So, wait...

What's the ancient Greek for "mail-in panties," then?

Um. I would just like to inform everyone here that I am the dictator of a small country, and I have recently cracked down on pro-democracy protests as well. It would be a horrible experience if my manhood were to be sapped by the arrival of large quantities of unexpected womens underwear in unmarked packages in the mail.

Did I mention I'm a horrible dictator? A very very bad man.

Coeval women of France who are unhappy with my reign, please send your panties to :
